Ingraham: They said you took $50,000 in cash in a bag from an undercover FBI agent… Homan: I did nothing criminal or illegal.

Kind of surreal that a government official was caught taking a $50,000 cash bribe and there's not even a question that he will continue serving as it nothing ever happened. Like even the most basic standards of public accountability are a joke.

HOLY SHIT

Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN on national television. FCC? Nothing? Crickets? Got it.

It’s like the Kardashians hooked up with the Squid Game, gave birth to a Sopranos reboot and we’re supposed to pretend it’s the West Wing.

WINTER IS COMING. Frederick, Maryland.

Eight months into Trump’s term, the chaos has been relentless: mass layoffs, unlawful attacks, and a government that feels almost unrecognizable. But as Trump's threats increasingly fail to materialize, as his loyalists flounder, and as his momentum stalls, could the tide finally be turning?

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we build courage. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18.

Oh, so boycotting corporations DOES work? Duly noted. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

TRUMP KNOWS MORE PEDOPHILES, RACISTS, AND RUSSIANS THAN ANYONE YOU HAVE EVER MET. Trump has more felony convictions than anyone you have ever met. And yet…. Whatever is in the EPSTEIN FILES IS WORSE.

EISENHOWER WOULD HAVE KILLED TRUMP. EISENHOWER WAS ANTIFA TO THE BONE.

There are a lot of guns in the U.S., but a lot of them are in the hands of gun fondlers. It turns out half of all the guns in the U.S. are owned by just three percent of American adults, and 78 percent of Americans do not own a gun. Some 7.7 million Americans own between eight and 140 guns each.

WINTER IS COMING “Somebody responsible for the lake found the Fox (which drowned) in the ice, cut him out and put him back on the ice to keep people off the ice.”

New York needs to have a major renaming project. Flushing? Fresh Kills? Flatbush? Canarsie? Yonkers? Throggs Neck?

Stanley Crouch’s flip test in action.

Jesus said nothing about abortion, but he had a lot to say about lying, stealing, divorce, and not paying taxes. Don’t know that? Read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave. And they should not need to be told this.

Blowing up boats in the Caribbean without any legal authority risks dragging the United States into another war, and provoking attacks against American citizens. I'm getting ready to force a vote with @kaine.senate.gov to ensure Congress' power to declare war is not so easily trampled.

American doctors volunteering in Gaza report a disturbing pattern of children shot by Israeli forces. Now they’re pushing for accountability. The latest from our friends at @revealnews.org:

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

The most important inflation data report was just postponed by The Bureau of Labor Statistics. The BLS didn’t explain the reasoning for the delay or when it will be released. Few realize what's happening.

Local picture taken by me, Frederick, Maryland. There are now more whitetail deer in the eastern US than there were when Columbus arrived in the New World. In fact, whitetail deer are the most populous wild large mammal in the world, with a global population in excess of 35 million.
